Perhaps this is part of the problem with the shortage of women in STEM. We tell girls they need to make a choice, they can either be girly and feminine or be an engineer. What woman or girl wants to be the stereotypical geek they see on TV? An antisocial person that stays at home in the basement eating burritos and playing on the computer? Does this mean she has no place in the technology fields? NO.
If a woman wants to work in the lab all day, then go put on a dress and go out for a night on the town, then great! The problem is, that is not how we as a society picture a scientist or engineer.
Depending on when you go, you can also go to the Trinity site on White Sands where the first atomic bomb was tested. They open it up only twice a year on the first Saturday in April and October.
If you are already down in New Mexico for the VLA there is the National Solar Observatory near Alamogordo.
That might work better then how the DOE wanted to compress the oil out of the shale in
1973
"Three 30 kiloton detonations took place simultaneously at depths of 1,758, 1,875, and 2,015 meters. It was the third nuclear explosion experiment intended to stimulate the flow of natural gas from "tight" formation gas fields"
Yes boys and girls, underground nuclear explosions were meant to compress the rocks and make it profitable to retrieve the oil. Unfortunately the oil was radioactive and was never put into the commercial supply.
Why should we even bother going to space if we are going to spend the entire flight fixing issues that have probably always been there, but only recently have been declared safety hazards. All these little repairs don't leave any time for science. Remember science, the reason that we go to space?
1) I am not allowed to drive after a good multi-hour session of Colin McRae rally racing. All I want to do is to slide the back end of my car through every turn possible.
2)Halo. I knew I had played too much Halo when I saw a woman walking on a sidewalk next to a building across the street from me. For a split second I had an internal debate if it would be better to kill her with the sniper riffle or the rocket launcher. With the building as a backboard, I chose the rocket launcher.

Why can't a scientist be a princess?

Go find what best suits your tastes.

While it is nice that they have stopped distributing the rootkit, this still doesn't get it off my infected PC.
About as much as we spend on Iraq every week.

1)revealing or marked by a smug, ingratiating, or false earnestness (a tone of smarmy self-satisfaction -- New Yorker)
2)of low sleazy taste or quality (smarmy eroticism)
